Crowded spaces it's a problem, I was more talking to notion of just plain shooting them rather than a use case. A rifle would be dang near impossible, but a scattered spray, you really only need to stop one prop and it's probably on the ground for a standard 4 prop deal. At least mine got real screwy when a blade split mid flight.

Edit: It also could be noted that while a lot of pellets would miss, they would pose a lot less risk that a rifled bullet coming back down. The weight of an individual shot pellet is a fraction of the weight of a bullet, so less momentum, plus the don't have a ballistic spin to maintain their speed that a rifle round does. Basically someone shooting a shot round in the air would come down with about as much force as a handful of gravel once the air resistance slows it a bit.

At range sure, nearby though an open choke shotgun would be pretty viable. Skeet shooting has been a thing for a while and unless it can change direction between the trigger and the pellets reaching it the drone's likely at least impaired.

If you don't have concerns about it being private I've used one of these for similar purposes in the past. Just a little portable DLNA server. The original project stopped but there are forks or the last version of the original out there.

Can't think where I've seen any there, some software but not even really games since those have largely gone for distribution via Steam or similar.

It's a clone of Mastodon where the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Network File System & Need For Speed both have elder claims to the name, good luck with the confused use I guess?

He had access to some public Minecraft server for a while and initially I was like "this is fine", but it was like 5 days before he was telling people to kill themselves in the chat and yelling ethnic slurs into his headset... he's 7.

The battle is real, I've heard and seen things out of my kid the same age that left me speechless. Kids think that because it was on the screen or in their headset 100x that this must mean it's ok, and with the number of people who just give it a pass by not paying the least attention...

Formative years are no place for such anarchistic environments, particularly when they're used as an unmonitored substitute for actual engagement.

Meme doesn't make sense in this context, but do love me some GOG.

I'm pretty sure it would still work, but images for media content would have broken links. I'm not sure the refresh policy as far as remote media goes but local stuff could be re-uploaded and it should be able to retain things like the user names and comment data even without pictures.
